Tracks:
Peccaries are blunt tipped and more square-shaped overall.
Similar tracks:
Deer have pointed tips and are somewhat heart-shaped.
Notes:
We are not confident in telling this species from the collared peccary (Tayassu tajacu). The collared peccary is likely smaller but there may be overlap in size. There may be a difference in the shape with the collared peccary having more square tracks and the white-lipped having more rounded tracks, however this is only speculation. If you have any information or photos of known species, please contact us.
*The track below is suspected to be from a collared peccary but may well be from the white-lipped peccary.
